Howard Dean; DNC chairmen?

[DFLer4edu]

I got a mass e-mail from Dean saying he is running for the DNC chair. How exactly does he get the job?

1. State executive committees vote for DNC, IIRC. nt

2. No, your state DNC delegation is different from your

state executive committee.

I'm not sure how the state DNC delegation is selected, though.

On edit: Found it. The state DNC delegation is elected at the state convention. Then your state DNC delegation votes for the DNC chair.

3. Most states elect DNC members at convention

Numbers vary by state.

State party Chair and Vice Chair are also members.

There are about 75 at-large DNC members appointed by the Chair. I think there are about 450 members overall.

4. IODRC

I obviously didn't recall correctly.
